Re: Big West - matches 2010-11

Anais is rapidly becoming a very legit #1......Klaudia's return is essential and hopefully that will happen and it should.....

Re: Big West - matches 2010-11

I.agree with you Alaskan that the team should be better next year if KM can make it back in good form; if not, the team should still be able to win the conference. I would love to see the team advance in the NCAA tourney in Anais's senior year, she has become my all time favorite player with her steady improvement and gutsy performances.

Re: Big West - matches 2010-11

Congratulations to Coach Hilt-Costello for the excellent recruit class coming in next fall.....surely these two fine additions will keep my favorite team at the top of the BWC. I expect that we will be even better this coming season than we were this past season....GO BEACH

Read below and feel shame mr Gouci. But as usual, your hate comes through. Beachman pointed out 14-1-1* (with asterisk) but really, I hope this particular post concretes your reputation. Perhaps you should read you other posts about someone needing to act with the class of the LB coach? Just a thought.

First off, it was a great match. 3 1/2 hours... Both teams right on the edge of winning for quite a while. Both teams hitting through and playing real tennis. None of that defensive old lady lob stuff that some underdogs (gouci can figure out who) often play to try to survive. High level tennis at all courts.

Doubles: Pepp wins at 2 & 3. Quite frankly, Pepp blew LB off the dubs courts today after losing the dubs pt 8 weeks ago. That did not prepare me for the effort LB put out in singles.

HERE IS THE KEY FOR MR. GOUCI....
Up 7-0, MARIE ZALAMEDA WAS HURT AND THEY HAD TO DEFAULT. She was on ground for a good 5 minutes before they defaulted. She could barely walk on her own and they had to help her off the court.

Now for those that are actual tennis fans, this was even a great match to watch on the internet. WOW... yes, LB again loses to Pepp. The last three meeting 4-3 and today 4-2 heading to possible 4-3. AAAARGH

Singles started with LB taking four of six first sets.

Pepp goes up 2-0 in a hurry with win at # 4... 6-4 and then rolls to 6-1 in second.

LB quickly follows to make it 2-1.... Anais Dallara wins her 26th match of the year beating Colffer at # 1 6-1 6-1. She should have been BW Player of Year since her only league loss to Widjaja she later rectified beating Widjaja in straight sets to clinch match at tourney. She is a very special player.

Pepp does up 3-1 with a great match win.... Bhargava beating Armstrong at # 2 (LB's usual # 3) 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. It was 4-4 in the third with an multi AD game at that point to give Bhargava opportunity.

at the unfinished match, another great match... LB's Manasse was leading Granillo 6-5 in third and 15-all in third. Late addition to post: Just spoke with booster and a former men's collegiate player who was there... late in third set Manasse up at 5-4, 30 luv... Granillo hooked a clearly good short of line ball she called out. As Granillo had already been over ruled twice in match, an over rule would have been the point plus a point penalty for Game-Set-Match. Ref did not have guts to make the right call and decide the match. Warning to all playing Granillo in future... she's a big time hook).

Fantic... this was a great tennis match...

I saw PLENTY of those 'lady lobs' today

Depenau and Sujica of USD

And yeah, it seems a shame that Dallara is not going to Stanford, she definitely deserves it (can't protest or something? )

Re: Big West - matches 2010-11

Form, I for one am very proud of this Long Beach program, team and their staff. They put up 20 wins while missing their # 2 in 14 of 26 matches is impressive.

If only we had Klaudia today. Pepperdine was also a bit shorthanded at the bottom but also got their old # 1 back in at the bottom of line up to clinch the winning point at # 6. I would like to play them straight up the way we had played the last month prior to her injury. And in some ways more so after she was hurt and we took care of business and the chEaters.

At no time did coach pull line up shennanigans or play an injured player to gain an advantage. Every day Beach Tennis does it right. We came up disappointly short of the big upset today but those that demean are only jealous.

Well done to the Long Beach State program today and for the last decade. I am a proud alum.

Pepperdine is so overconfident after winning the doubles point they don't play Zalameda in singles.

Sitting a starter, what a SLAP IN THE FACE to Long Beach St.
